New here/Ammo Crate Pic.

Hello, first I want to say that you're program is excellent. I have been using it for a bit now; and it has motivated me to purchase Genetica 2.5. I would like to know if I purchase the standard version, is there an upgrade price for the Pro version (the normal mapping will be useful in game models)?

Well, here's the whole pack I've made. I've just about made enough off of it to buy the Standard Genetica. I thought using your free product to generate enough income to buy your commercial product would make you guys happy

It wasn't meant to be exactly authentic; I wanted it to be more generic so people could use them as game media or as placeholders for their game. The UV Maps are also included, in case the customer wishes to create their own textures. But all of that for $8.95 is a pretty fair price, in my estimation. Thanks for all the comments.

Well myself being in a ww2 mod/game, the trend for new ww2 mods and games is towards the most realistic things. mabye 4$ would be worth it but if i can buy a game for 10$ (bf2 EF) then i woudnt buy this /tongueNew members can't link' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

LOL; thanks for the opinion. I'm not sure why you'd compare a $10 game that you bought off the shelf, with game-making material. This pack is featured in the FPSCreator section of this month's TGC (The Game Creators) Newsletter; it also has the "Game-Ready" stamp at Turbosquid.

The Pack has been converted for use with the FPSCreator Engine, and the Torque Engine (as well as a general use version in .3DS and .X formats); those conversions took a fair bit of work as well. Most of the packs I see do not include the UV Maps as well, or make the 1024x1024 texture maps available...for free.

If you want to see what a pack of realistic (non-WWII style) containers and crates is going for, check out this entry in Turbosquid: Crate CollectionThat Pack costs $350 (from a seasoned vendor), or roughly 35 $10 games

There's quite a bit of work that goes into making these types of things (like making a good, useable UV Map; but it seems even more work goes into getting them ready to sell.

Nice work man. I think the pricing is fair. Texture collections can range from free to hundreds of dollars. Given the broad pricing range, the difference between charging $9 or $4 is almost insignificant to your target audience. Also there is a definite need for both realistic photo quality textures as well as surreal, cartoony style ones so I say keep doing what you're doin /winkNew members can't link' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

I'm targeting the Indy Developer crowd; they usually don't have unlimited funds . I figure, if someone likes it, they'll purchase it; if they don't, then they'll go somewhere else...that's the way it is. I'm glad people appreciate the work though. I showed them here primarily to show off what your product could do for game development.

It must have been a problem with my connection (I'm not very fond of dial-up, but it's about all there is in my area) earlier.

Tell your colleague that I appreciate her kudos I thought that it was kind of neat that (after a few more orders come in) I could use your free application to make enough money to buy Genetica from you. Thanks for the responses everybody; I'll have to post an in-game shot later on.
